![]() ![]() We’ll walk you through the process of how to program DirecTV remote models to connect both the universal and Genie remotes to other devices. Universal Remote Your universal remote should look – at least a little – like this. Note: DirecTV has gone through a lot of remotes over the years, so your universal remote may not look like any pictures we post. That’s okay! They still have the same general buttons and controls, so while you may need to study those lesser-used corners of your remote, the process should still work just fine. Devices have various remote codes used to program and connect new remotes. This code basically pairs the remote and the device, like an old-fashioned version of Bluetooth. Start by getting this code to speed the process up considerably!įortunately, DirecTV has made this process very easy. In the fill-out form, you will notice options to pick from Video/DVD, Audio, Satellite/Set-Top, and even VCR. Pick which most accurately describes the device that you are trying to pair, and then type in both the brand and the model number. Hit search, and the tool should provide the most popular codes for your device. Note that this isn’t a full-proof method. The tool can’t always guarantee a match, and it doesn’t work well with newer set top boxes and devices, which may not be compatible with DirecTV remotes. But for all that, it’s still the best way to look for codes. Step 2: Find the Menu button on your universal remote. It should say MENU, loud and clear! Press it to open up the Settings & Help menu. Note that this only works if your remote is already paired with your DirecTV satellite receiver, which must be plugged into your TV so you can get a picture of your Settings. ![]() Note that we’re talking about your receiver menu here, not the menu from your TV or other menus like the DirecTV app version. Step 3: In the Settings menu, look for the icon that says Settings. At least, this is true of most new receivers. If you have an older DirecTV DVR or SD receiver – uncommon, but not impossible – then you will want to go to Parental Favs & Setup instead, and then choose System Setup. You end up at the same place either way for step 4. ![]() Step 4: Select Remote Control from the new list. This will give you a familiar-looking list of device categories. Choose the same category that you chose when finding your remote code. Step 5: You should now have some options to search for a remote code or input one manually. Since you (hopefully) found your code online, you can choose to input the code manually. Step 6: Now test your remote by performing basic functions like changing the volume. ![]()
